Fascists
when fascism comes it will not be in the form of an anti-American movement or pro-Hitler bund, practicing disloyalty. Nor will it come in the form of a crusade against war. It will appear rather in the luminous robes of flaming patriotism. Continued

Evil Is As Evil Does
Perhaps Americans don't notice, but the rest of the world does see the double standard applied when Saddam Hussein is put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, while US, UK, and Israeli government officials commit far greater crimes by illegally invading countries, targeting civilian populations, and torturing detainees.

The Spoils of Corruption
The mainstream media, like organized religion, is used to program public perceptions-to steer us away from truth and to perpetuate fairy tales that extol the virtues of bribery, violence, and greed. It makes useful idiots of those who cannot think for themselves and persuades them to act like fools in the eyes of the world.

Laura Bush cautions Americans to speak carefully when debating Iraq
"Responsible candidates understand that the men and women of our military are risking their lives for us, and that we must conduct our debate here at home in a way that does not jeopardize our troops in harm's way," she said, calling for "conversations conducted with civility and respect."
Memo to Laura Bush:
it was, in fact, your husband's and this administration's 'terminological inexactitudes" (read: LIES) that put our kids into harm's way in the first place, and there is no way to hide this from either citizens of this country or the world.
Reasoned debate on what this government has done has to begin with the understanding that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the understanding of who and what actually perpetrated 9/11, and who the true beneficiaries are of this alleged 'global war on terror' (read: defense contractors, bilking American taxpayers for billions).
And one more thing, Mrs. Bush: where are your daughters (of appropriate military age, I believe), and the age-appropriate family members of this administation?
Are they patriotically serving their country in Iraq or Afghanistan right now?
I thought not.

Why Bush lies about Iraq
US President George Bush's plans to invade Iraq have nothing to do eliminating “weapons of mass destruction”, preventing terrorism or ending human rights abuses. An attack on Iraq will be the first phase of a pre-existing strategy to increase US control of the world's oil supplies.

2-yr old Palestinian released from Israeli prison!
The attached are from our local Al-Quds newspaper on Nov 1, 2006. They are from a story about a 2-yr old girl who was released from an Israeli prison near Ramallah. Her name is Aiysha, which in Arabic means "life." Aiysha's mother gave birth to her while detained in an Israeli prison. Aiysha was released two days ago, her mother is still being detained under "Administrative Detention," in other words, no charge, no trial, nothing…just a unilateral Israeli decision to detain her for 6 months at a time, already renewed 4 times! This poor baby. She knows nothing in life but the walls of her mother's prison cell...

BREAKING NEWS on Israel's denied entry of Palestinians to their own land
"Additionally, the cabinet agreed to "launder" the presence in the West Bank of some 5,000 Palestinians who hold American or European passports but returned to the West Bank after the Oslo Accords were signed. Because they had lost their residency permits due to long absence, they entered on tourist visas, but for years, these visas were automatically renewed. Recently, however, the Interior Ministry has refused to renew them, resulting in many being "trapped" in Jordan, cut off from their jobs and families.
This development has elicited sharp protests from the U.S. and the European Union, and the coordinator of government activities in the territories, Major General Yosef Mishlav, therefore recommended giving them residency permits on a humanitarian basis. Peretz approved this idea and forwarded it to the diplomatic-security cabinet, which ratified it
yesterday."

In Beit Hanun, 'the whole town is being punished'
It took Abu al-Abed, a resident of the town of Beit Hanun in the Gaza Strip, a few seconds to realize that something was amiss in the local radio broadcasts. At 1:30 AM, the Saut al-Huriyeh (the Voice of Freedom) station reported that "Israeli special forces have taken control of houses in the Saka area of Beit Hanun."
It followed with repeated reports on the dead and wounded. But the voice and message were completely different from the usual broadcasts: "The Israel Defense Forces orders the residents of Beit Hanun not to leave their houses until further notice. The IDF action will continue until the release of the soldier Gilad Shalit and the cessation of firing on Israel. Those who assists terrorists or hide weapons in their houses will be punished. We are working to protect the residents of Israel."

U.S. CITIZEN HELD FOR FOUR YEARS ON TERROR SUSPICIONS ALLEGES TORTURE IN NEW COURT FILING
Attorneys for suspected al Qaeda operative Jose Padilla http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/ct/Y1wJHNp1ucVK/ filed a brief http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/ct/P7wJHNp1ucVQ/ asking a federal judge to dismiss charges against him and claiming he was tortured and forcibly given psychedelic drugs http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/ct/PdwJHNp1ucVP/ while in detention. Padilla, a U.S. citizen, was arrested in 2002, accused of plotting an attack involving a radioactive bomb, and designated an "enemy combatant." After holding Padilla for three years without due process, the government formally charged him in 2005 but did not mention the suspected bomb plot in the indictment. Padilla is now charged with participating in a North American terrorism cell. In court filings, Padilla claims the torture has included isolation, sleep deprivation, extremely cold temperatures, and shackling in stress positions. Human Rights First has filed amicus curiae briefs in support of Padilla at multiple stages of his detention.
